Focs d'artifici a la badía - Tokyo bay fireworks

Aquest cap de setmana coincidint amb les festes d'Obon hi han hagut els famosos focs d'artifici a la badia de Tokyo i ho volia aprofitar per fer una volta per la zona d'Odaiba, una àrea bastant nova sobre illes artíficials que sembla prou interessant. Ja m'havien avisat que hi anés amb temps perquè es reuneix molta gent per veure els focs, tot i així poc m'esperava trobar-me el metro ple a rebentar tres hores abans de començar els focs, i un cop arribat allà ha estat espectacular, poca cosa he vist d'Odaiba perquè la zona estava ple de gom a gom i he baixat directament a la badía, la gent es reserva el seu tros de parcel.la posant trossos de plàstic a terra, i ho respecten!! la veritat ha estat molt divertit veure tots aquest japonesos relacionant-se socialment, a més hi havia molta gent portant vestits tradicionals japonesos (diria que la majoria portaven Yukatas que és la versió estiuenca del Kimono) i moltes parelletes joves :-). Total que m'he tirat dues hores donant voltes, tirant fotos i contemplant-los a tots. Després els focs, només us haig de dir que han durat una hora i mitja de rellotge, sí sí, increíble, llàstima que sense trípode les fotos no han sortit gaire decents...


This weekend coinciding with the Obon festivity there have been the famous fireworks at the Tokyo bay and I've decided to go see them at the area of Odaiba, a fairly new area of artificial islands that seem quite interesting. I had been already warned to go sometime in advance since many people goes there to  see the fireworks, but I would have never thought that the metro would be so crowded three hours before, and once I got there it has been spectacular, finally I saw little of Odaiba because the area was already overcrowded and I went directly to the bay, people booked their piece of place putting a kind of plastic on the ground, and everybody respected it! It has been very funny to see all these Japanese interacting socially among them, in addition there were many people wearing traditional Japanese costumes (I would say most were Yukatas the summer version of kimono), and also many young couples :-). At the end I've walk around two hours wandering around, taking pictures and watching them. Then the fires, I think that just saying they lasted for an hour and a half you can already have an idea of it, amazing, shame that didn't have the tripod to take more decent pictures...
